The purpose of the study is to determine whether lenalidomide is safe and effective for use in combination with docetaxel and prednisone for the treatment of subjects with metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

The addition of lenalidomide to docetaxel and prednisone is proposed to increase the life expectancy of these subjects.

Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Randomization until death from any cause up to the cut-off date of 13 January 2012 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Overall survival (OS) was the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. If no death was reported for a participant before the cut-off date for OS analysis, OS was censored at the last date at which the participant was alive. The median OS was calculated based on Kaplan-Meier estimates and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using the method provided by Brookmeyer and Crowley.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization until disease progression or death from any cause up to cut-off date of 13 Jan 2012; maximum time on study approximately 26 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

PFS was the time from randomization to disease progression, or death, whatever occurred first. Progression criteria was met by analysis of target and non-target lesions as defined by RECIST Version 1.1 criteria. Progressive Disease (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the diameters while on study or the appearance of one or more new lesions; an increase of at least 5mm as a total sum. Lymph nodes identified as target lesions (≥ 15 mm diameter in short axis) will be followed and reported by changes in diameter of short axis; or the unequivocal progression of a non-target lesion defined as an increase in the overall disease burden based on the change in non-measurable disease that is comparable in scope to the increase required to declare PD for measurable disease; Two or more new bone lesions as detected by bone scan

Objective Response Rate (ORR) of Measurable and/or Non-measurable Disease as Determined by Investigators According to RECIST Version 1.1 Criteria [ Time Frame: Day 1 to data cut-off 13 January 2012; maximum time on study approximately 26 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Objective response (OR) is defined as having complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as best overall response. RECIST Criteria 1.1 defines a CR = Disappearance of all target lesions except lymph nodes (LN); LN must have a decrease in the short axis to <10mm; PR = 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; Progressed Disease (PD) = 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions taking as a reference the smallest sum of diameters and an absolute increase of ≥5 mm; the appearance of ≥1 new lesions; Stable Disease (SD)= Neither shrinkage to qualify for PR nor increase to qualify for PD taking the smallest sum diameters on study as reference. For non-target lesions a CR = Disappearance of all non-target lesions and all LN must be non-pathological in size <10 mm; Non-CR/Non PD: persistence of one or more non-target lesions; PD = unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or appearance of new ones

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: The maximum duration on study drug was 93 weeks, which includes the time from the first dose of study drug administration to 28 days after the last dose of study drug and up to the data cut-off date of 13 January 2012 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

A TEAE is defined as any AE occurring or worsening on or after the first dose of study drug and within 28 days after the last dose of study drug. A TESAE is defined as any serious adverse event (SAE) occurring or worsening on or after the first dose of study drug and within 28 days after the last dose of study drug. Safety and Severity was assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.0; Severity of AEs were graded (including second primary malignancies) as Grade 1- Mild; Grade 2- Moderate; Grade 3- Severe; Grade 4- Life-threatening; Grade 5-Fatal;

Detailed Description:

In November 2011, the Data Monitoring Committee concluded it was unlikely that the study would meet its primary endpoint of overall survival (OS) and recommended that the study be stopped. The study was terminated in accordance with this recommendation. All sites were instructed to immediately discontinue all patients from experimental lenalidomide/placebo treatment administered either in combination with chemotherapy or as a single agent following chemotherapy discontinuation. Subsequently, Protocol Amendment 3 was issued to provide for the following:

To continue to collect information on Second Primary Malignancies (SPMs) and additional treatments for Prostate Cancer in all randomized subjects during survival follow-up.

To continue to provide docetaxel and prednisone for up to 10 cycles to subjects randomized at non-US sites who were ongoing in the CC-5013-PC-002 protocol when the decision was made to discontinue lenalidomide/placebo and who were experiencing benefit as per investigator discretion. For subjects who had exceeded 10 cycles of docetaxel and prednisone at the time of Protocol Amendment 3 approval, an additional two cycles were provided.

All references to dosing and study procedures pertaining to the safety, efficacy, and exploratory endpoints of lenalidomide/placebo were discontinued as part of Protocol Amendment 3.
